Wedge Tailed Eagle .
The eagle has just finished cleaning its beak on the rub branch hence the bark missing and is ready to hunt again. This is the same tree with the chick in the nest. This is also the branch at this particular nest that the eagles land on when returning from a hunt.

The wedge-tailed eagle, sometimes known as the eaglehawk, is the largest bird of prey in Australia, and is also found in southern New Guinea, part of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs, and an unmistakable wedge-shaped tail.
